Had a brown snake cross my front yard just last week. First one I've seen on my property in the nearly-20 years I've been there, and only the second live, wild snake I've seen in my life. Neighbours apparently see them fairly regularly. Brown snakes generally move in the opposite direction to "where there are people", so despite being highly dangerous, paths don't cross closely unless quite unlucky (for either human or snake).
